GUEST,Ken 2017 Obit: Malcolm Price (M PriceTrio) (94* d) RE: Malcolm Price Trio 07 Dec 10


I remember Malcolm Price very well, he often appeared at Chislehurst Folk club and I can still play a couple of numbers in his distinctive style. He usually appeared with a couple of Martin guitars, a six and a twelve string, and I think he used a special tuning for the twelve ~ but time makes memory slow. Whatever, I went out and bought a brand new 12 string jumbo just like Malcs and still have it, but only play it now and again as it seems so big, cumbersom and 'dead' compared with the flamenco guitar I normally use. Malcolm used to do a good comic number called "The Burglar Man" and his runs on "buffalo Skinners' were fantastic. Really a one man show whoever he was performing with, as I recall he had a liking for fawn whipcord trousers, western cut shirts and cowboy boots. Where is he now? No idea, but I do still have the recordings to remember him by. I also recall Cedric Thorose, I believe that they sometimes worked together but I may be imagining this. The folk movement was very solid in the 60s and everybody seemed to be friendly and encouraging. Great days ~ must be getting old, but the fingers still work! Ken
